Abstract
The purpose of this study is to measure civil religion and to test Bellah's hypothesis of a separate civil religious dimension. An essentially transcendent conceptualization of civil religion is assessed through factor and cluster analyses. Indicators of civil religion are observed to form a distinct composite variable which juxtaposes other dimensions of religion and politics. These results confirm thefindings of earlier research on civil and church religiosity and extend supportfor the civil religion hypothesis to the context of political commitments as well.
